Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for being here today.
Before I proceed, I would first like to table a motion, which reads as follows:
That the Committee accept the invitation to travel to Slovenia at the conclusion of the study of the Defence of North America and travel to Latvia, Slovenia, Poland, Ukraine, Brussels and Vienna in order to study Operation Reassurance and Operation Unifier, visit our troops overseas, and meet with regional stakeholders: EU, NATO, and the OSCE, and that the necessary staff accompany the Committee.
It's about seeing the Russian threat and meeting our troops abroad.
